Odd Hours Tuesday: Closed Until 3pm for Event
Happy Monday!
Before we get into the calendar, a few housekeeping items related to the weeks ahead:
As a reminder, on Tuesday we will be closed until 3pm due to a private meeting in the full space of the club. We apologize for the inconvenience. However, we will be open for our regular hours on Wednesday for Veterans Day, and we don’t anticipate additional odd hours outside of regularly scheduled holiday-related closures.
A handful of tickets remain for The Italian Harvest, a four-course Italian-inspired dinner and wine pairing event celebrating Vermont’s autumn harvest season on Friday Nov. 20.
Also, remember WORST. SONG. EVER. is just around the corner, the Saturday before Thanksgiving Nov. 21, and Barre Social Club members can RSVP for a FREE ticket. Please reach out this week if you haven’t already.
And looking ahead to December, we are collecting new, unwrapped toys ahead of the Toys for Tots holiday party Dec. 5. For each toy donated, you will be entered into a drawing for a $100 Barre Social Club gift card.
